Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.

It ain't funny

Hi from Singapore.

I've just been reading the Sydney Morning Herald and came across this about a flight from Dubai to the UK:

An Australian man has been charged after a bomb hoax sparked an emergency evacuation of an Emirates flight at London's Gatwick Airport on Sunday.

I've talked about this kind of crass stupidity before and I'm sure I must have said that no prison sentence is long enough. People like this need to be removed from society.

Agree with your opinion, but at the same time I'm fascinated by what makes these people do things like this.

What can possibly be gained? Is it some kind of social experiment that they run to see what the responses will be from people around them? Are they so deeply panicked/psychotic/neurotic that something bigger than them takes them over and makes them do these things?

I think that I should have been a psychiatrist, but then after interviewing them, I would have wanted the power to call for the bus to take these people far, far away!

About Me

We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011.
I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here.
I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments.
If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.
